Dang, it wanted to work, but it didn't quite get there.

the mail notification had a hor. scroll bar; the above message on CP does not (FF3), but then that could depend on some settings.
BTW: while posting that, didn't you get a little message box asking "this message seems rather wide and uninformative. Do you really want to post it?"

It got you to inform me that the scrollbars show up in email notifications. Seems informative enough.

Apparently IE8 handles it better. I still have IE7, and there is no scroll bar. Upgrading to IE8 is not yet an allowed option.
I failed to mention that the area for message display does resize with the browser window, but the text width still matches the width of the PRE section. If the code lines are really long, like your example, they and the text outside the PRE tag get irretrievably chopped off at the column margin for the message list. I have a scroll bar for viewing all of your message as I type this reply, but in the regular display, I don't.

Unfortunately you're seeing problems with IE7's non standard rendering. FireFox, Chrome, Safari, IE8 all do the right thing, but getting IE7 to play properly, while not also breaking for the others, is painful and sanity shredding.

This is for Chris
We have wanted to donate robots to the best article prize pool for sometime. We are robot geeks and figured code project code geeks would love to win robots. I posted the question in the lounge to get some feedback. The response was pretty positive and the community suggested I put the idea in front of the man in charge so that is what I'm doing
Here is the thread:
http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=3561365#xx3561365xx[^]
If anyone else in here likes the idea, time to speak up is now :P
I can be reached at:

You'd like to donate robots? That's the coolest thing. Ever.
Sorry for the delay, I've just arrived home after a vacation. I'll send you an email and we'll work out the fine print.

When I clicked "Comments RSS" on the right of this question, I got the following error:
Error System Reported: An Error Occurred
Ticket: (No ticket provided - possibly an error in the error-system)
Error: An error occurred in this page. The error has been recorded and the site administrator informed.

Yep verified it. I'll add it to bug list.

Hmmm I thought this was fixed already[^]
Chris lied to me, no my whole world is falling apart now. Or was it the hamsters who posted in his name, damn those little evil creatures got me again.

I've placed it under Silverlight but you should be able to do this as well.
I'll make a bug note about the auto-linking.

I've looked several times, and I don't see any place to set a category. It used to be there, but I haven't seen it for the last couple to tips.

You must be using IE 6 
I'll try and get that fixed shortly.

Okay I've fixed it locally. It should be good next time Chris updates the site.

I'm tired to see mobile version of site every time I visit it with Firefox nightlies (aka Minefield).
Worse yet, every time I do anything (like voting on poll, going to link) it resets to mobile version and I have to click Full site to see normal page.
Honestly, I have no idea why Minefield useragent is considered to be of mobile client (maybe Fennec used it, but still). This is very lame for a site dedicated to development, including web. 
|

can't you change your browser's user agent? as a work-around, try browsing page "about:config" to get to the settings.
|
|
|

Of course I can, but this is not per-site setting, so changing it back and forth is even more annoying; and it will reset once in a while (on restart, on update -- which is daily, etc). More importantly, this is a wrong behavior on site's side.
Besides Codeproject (which I frequent once in a while), there is only a handful of sites that exhibit the same behavior (I've stumbled upon one or two), but they are really rare exceptions, so it's not worth it in the end.
Even if we set aside the useragent detection, if I clicked Full site, I expect it to be remembered. I don't want to click it on every page [re]load.
PS: d'oh, I so can't express my thoughts clearly from the first try >.<

Are you clearing your cookies?
Can you go to http://www.codeproject.com/script/misc/browsercheck.aspx[^] and send me the results. I've already put in a work-around for Minefield so I guess I'll just have to tweak it.

Here's how it looks like when I open it straight away (note, that I had to scale the page down a notch): http://imgur.com/YtxZQ.png
Here's how it looks like when I hit Full site: http://imgur.com/Nahm2.png
And I don't touch cookies (they're enabled and being saved until expired).
